Antique Minds, Vintage Lips

Lyrics inspired by Velvet Underground and The Kills.

Sure thing, all the love was lost

Lost in time, when time sometimes

Means nothing at all 

It’s just a fact, the fate of our changing faces

Hair colours deceiving as autumn leaves and cold places

I refuse to see, you refuse to be 

And the old times are just lost torn photographs

Of you and me

Noisy hearts blown as the heavy typewriters

In which nobody will write the ultimate romance 

The masterpiece is to be released when all is nearly dead

One more shot, one final glance 

In which you may give a chance for the ultimate romance

Sure thing, all the love was lost 

Lost in time, when time sometimes

Means a glass of wine, a pair of big brown eyes and a jukebox song

Oh antique minds, vintage lips 

I thought that we were partners 

Brothers and sisters, hello to you lovers

We are what’s dead, let it be, we’ll see

Antique minds, vintage lips

Two night owls walking nowhere hand in hand

No lights in the city, you couldn’t tell if we’re fifteen or fifty

Sure thing, all the love was lost

Lost in time, when time sometimes

Means nothing at all

And all the love was lost

But only because it could be found

Reviews

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This one shook me up. You speak to the heart on so many levels. It really made me think about how memories exist somewhere outside the boundaries of time and how we can relive moments over and over. Sometimes dreams can do the same. This song has it's moments of sadness, but its beautiful and sentimental as well. I found it to be meaningful and touching work.

[Alvin L. Kathembe]

This really struck a chord somewhere...the writing is beautiful, and that title is awesome. Unfortunately, I have no idea what it means :)

[L'Enfant Terrible]

God, it has been a while since I last checked your stuff (I was dead here for a while) but you've got so much better, really.

[Apple Newhouse]

I loved it!

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I could definitely get some pointers from you about creating hooks. This rocks Karina.

[Richard Williams]

I enjoyed and was set in reminiscing by this poem. Well done.

[Coyote Poetry]

I missed your poetry. Your words are true in this poem. Sometime hard to separate lust from love. In the end. If no friendship was create. Love can of been a myth anyway.
"Brothers and sisters, hello to you lovers
We are what’s dead, let it be, we’ll see"
